Japanese scientists produce plastic which dissolves in seawater within hours

Plastic has polluted our oceans for decades and studies suggest plastic waste could triple by 2040.

A new invention may offer a promising solution to the escalating crisis.

Researchers in Japan have created a plastic that dissolves in seawater within just two hours.

In 2020, an estimated 2.7 million metric tonnes seeped into the environment, with plastic waste increases expected to reach 37 million metric tonnes that could enter the world's oceans by 2040.
